Lightning zeros in on teenager's tunes

At 17, I was listening to the Dead, CSNY, Neil Young, Outlaws, PPL, Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker Band, basically Southern rock and if you listened close enough could actually understand the words or watch them come out of the speaker box...............after inhaling....................from the bong

I'm betting an iPod has to be cranked up pretty damn loud to be heard over a lawn mower. That's gotta not be too good for the eardrums, either.

Of course, that's still no comparison to being struck by lightening.

[Squeako]

He was listening to his Apple I-Zot.

OK Mr. Smarty Pants,....actually we're both wrong, it's heat that kills the most people per year.

But lightning is the FUN way to go. It's quick, it's easy, leaves a good looking corpse.

[Smokin' Joe]

Yes, that's definitely an excuse he won't be able to use a second time.

Actually, there was a guy who worked in the George Washington National Forrest in Virginia (iirc) who survived seven or eight lightning strikes. He held the Guinness World Record.

Thats cool, I was listening to much of the same although I was tempted to say Benny Goodman, Jimmy Dorsey, and Gene Krupa.

And yes that was some good looking music after the third hit

While mowing my lawn with my lawn tractor, MP3 player and noise cancellation head phones I'm usually listening to Alice In Chains.

Pinging you. Here's a case of a true ZOT for playing the wrong tunes....
